Nice method Kevin. I once was a car detailer and I've often thought that using car methods may work on my bottles too, but never tried it. I will say 3M makes some of the best compounds, period. As you've seen, they are made for paint, not glass, so even the toughest compound will likely need sand. Also, like with car paint, you should try stepping down in the compound 3-4 times. Example, use the heavy stuff with sand, then just the heavy, then another go with a medium compound, and then a light compound. This may really make one shine, worth a try. A thought on the exterior. If you could figure out a safe way to hold a bottle in a clamp/vice, and use a high speed polisher with compound, you may be able to get similar results on the outside....though it would be a lot of work.
